Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, soak gelatin in water.
2. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar and invert sugar. Heat but do not boil; pour hot syrup into gelatin, beating slowly.
3. Gradually add corn syrup and vanilla, beating on medium-high speed of mixer until mixture is fluffy, white and doubled in bulk.
4. For Molded Pieces: Spray candy molds with a cooking spray.
5. Spoon marshmallow into a pastry bag and pipe into sprayed cavities. (Because the marshmallow sets quickly, it may be helpful to have a couple extra helpers pipe marshmallow into the molds.)
6. Allow to set for about an hour.
7. Remove from molds and roll in colored sugar.
8. Dry candy for a few hours, then pack tightly in covered container.
9. For Squares: Spread marshmallow into a well-buttered 9 x 13” pan.
10. Allow to set an hour.
11. Butter the edge of a bench scraper. Use the buttered bench scraper to cut into squares.
12. Keep the edges of the bench scraper blade buttered.
13. Dip into melted coating or tempered chocolate.
